HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has issued a one-month warning to hundreds of thousands of tax credits customers ahead of an urgent deadline.
Customers have until July 31 to renew their claim or risk losing out on their payments. According to the government department, more than 300,000 customers who received a renewal pack with a red line across the first page still need to confirm their circumstances for the current tax year.
The department sends out these renewal packs as an individual's circumstances can change which may affect their tax credits payments. Such changes can include living arrangements, childcare, working hours, or changes to income.
